Update [7]//Patch 0.8.0.0 and Console Announcement
Hi Principals! We are back with another exciting update for you.
Latest Update Ver 0.8.0.0
Things are getting a little hotter in Valthiria—all thanks to a recently discovered Hidden Dungeon.
With glassy obsidian, rough pumice, and molten lava all around, this hidden dungeon might be too hot to handle, except for the future heroes from the Academy. Just remind your students: “don’t play with fire”!
With the discovery of the fiery dungeon, it became clearer that Valthiria is not entirely free of danger. Monsters show up now and then, deterring the residents of Valthiria from solo travel.
To help ease the residents of Valthiria, the Academy offers a solution: Escort Mission! With students as bodyguard-slash-companion, travelers could be safe from various monsters that lurks in the forest. And maybe from a loneliness, too. No judgement.
Be careful though, as every traveler will take a space on your team. Some might be able to help in fight, while some can’t. It’s part of the mission: fighting with less attack power and more possible casualties! Can your students handle the challenge?
At least it would be a great networking event!
This update includes:
Features
New quest type: Escort
Revamped world map UI
Revamped exploration UI
Skip button on dialogues and cinematics
Contents
New dungeon: Lava Fields
New monsters on Lava Fields
New student skills
Removed tutorial tasks that are no longer relevant

Update [6]//Patch 0.7.0.0
Greetings, Principals, and...Lady Principals!
One of the most-awaited updates, we’re excited to announce that the female principal is finally ready to join the Academy! We recognize that having this choice is an important thing for our players, so we hope this option will enhance your playing experience even more.
Ever heard about “strike the first blow”? Now in battle, delivering the first strike will give you an advantage!
Every time you manage to strike an enemy first, another student in the party will immediately dish out a second attack, giving you a notable head start in the battle. You can maximize this advantage by finding the right formation for your party.
And last buat not least: the principal isn’t the only new character in this update. We also added two new champions. Meet: Tiana Cherenkov and Chad Donnervogel!
They have different outlooks on life, and they are eager to prove each other wrong. If you see them around the Academy, they’re most likely competing in something. Something that you didn’t even know could be a competition. At least it’s free entertainment, right?
One student said that Tiana and Chad have hundreds of these minor competitions, and their total wins are almost always at a draw. Another student says that even the teachers are split on who will be the winner in the end. Catch their friendly (or not?) rivalry on the upcoming update!
This update includes:
• New feature: Female Principal • New feature: Pre-emptive attacks • Added in-game Achievements • Major UI overhaul • Added sorting feature on several UIs • Improved skill visuals • New characters: Chad & Tiana • More quests, tasks, and events • Balanced Champion skills and enemy difficulty • Added student spawn animation • Fixed a fatal error when pressing [ESC] after choosing a student in battle • Fixed graduation and enrollment that keep popping up when cutscenes are in play
Known Issue:
If your monitor is not capable of 2560 x 1440 resolution, please do not set your resolution to 2560 x 1440 in the game settings, as doing so will result in a bug where your cursor movement will be limited. If the bug does occur, press Alt + Enter to enter windowed mode, then change the resolution via the game settings to a resolution supported by your monitor.

Update [5]//Patch 0.6.0.0
Hiya Principals! We have another update today, and you can bet that this one is going to make your day!
Winter has arrived in Valthiria, and the queendom is overjoyed! It's usually a time for hot drinks, staying indoors, and bundling up—but of course, you can’t just laze around in the Academy.
Behold: the Snowman Building minigame! In this new minigame, the leisure activity of making snowmen is turned into yet another learning opportunity—designed to train champions to notice and remember things quickly. Or at least someone said so.
It might be useful in a fight, yeah? Maybe? We don’t know, you’re the principal!
Get your students ready for fresh snow, frozen fingers, and another reason for fun, um, learn—in the Academy!
You can learn from anywhere, but the fancier the place, the better!
That’s why in this update, we also added a “bulding upgrade” feature for the facilities of the Academy! With the bulding upgrade, you can improve the stats of existing building. The upgraded building will then boost your students’ learning progress. Neat! Afterall, they paid a pretty penny to learn in pretty buildings, right?
Principals, meet your new champions: Rena Tarrant and Alphonse Meyer!
The two new champions couldn’t be more different if they tried. One thing they have in common? Being pushed to learn in the Academy!
Rena was too lax—and her loving parents wanted her to learn about adulting and responsibility. Alphonse tragic past made him abandon magic—and he’s being dragged to the Academy to rediscover his love for magic... and himself!
Will they be able to become a true hero? Their future is in your hands, Principal!
Here are the complete list of changes and additions in the 0.6.0.0 update:
Features
Implemented Building Upgrades
Added Mini game: Snowman Building for Winter Festival
Revamped Minigame UI
Improved patrolling enemies
Contents
New champions: Alphonse and Rena
New quests, monsters, and events
New cutscenes
Added missing 2D assets
Rebalanced skills, status effect, etc
Bugfixes
Fixed timeline for story events
Fixed teleport gate in tundra
Fixed Minigame reward screen getting stuck when choosing reward
Fixed Drink icon in Eating Minigame
Fixed FPS issue in Swimming Minigame
Fixed several quests and principal task objectives that couldn’t be completed
That’s all for this update, Principals! The development of Valthiria will continue, and so is the education standard for the Academy. What’s in the next update? Free lunches? Student loan forgiveness? Stay tuned to find out!

Roadmap Update!
Greetings, Principal!
